BY STAFF REPORTS

TAHLEQUAH – The Cherokee Nation administers a burial assistance program funded through the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the CN.

It is designed to relieve or eliminate financial hardship associated with traditional funeral costs for indigent impoverished or low-income families with little or no resources. The program shall make available two burial assistance options for eligible families to select from. Eligible families must select one of the funeral homes that have an active contract with the CN.

The program is not an entitlement program, meaning that being a CN citizen or any other federally recognized tribe does not automatically make a person eligible for benefits under this program.

The deceased must be a citizen of a federally-recognized tribe, verified by a tribal citizenship card (a blue card for CN citizens). The deceased must have been a resident of the CN jurisdiction for six months prior to the date of death.

The deceased and his or her immediate family may not have resources (life insurance, veteran’s benefits, cash, savings accounts, etc.) exceeding $2,800. The deceased and his or her immediate family may not have income for the previous month greater than 150% of the National Poverty Level income standards.

The family must select a funeral home included on the list of those having an active burial contract with the CN. For information, visit cherokee.org and click on Human Services under the All Services tab at the top of the page. Then click Family Assistance.
